2026-07-19 Part 1 of 5: "Making Room for The Divine Rev. Kristin In this opening message of the four-part Spaciousness series, Rev. Kristin invites us to examine our relationship with time and discover that what our souls truly long for is not better time management but more space - space to breathe, listen, connect, and become aware of the divine presence already surrounding us. She explores how spaciousness in mind, heart, and body opens pathways to stillness where spirit can emerge, offering guidance, clarity, and peace. Using the beautiful metaphor of holding a balloon from a moving car, Rev. Kristin encourages us to never move faster than our ability to maintain conscious connection with the divine.
2026-07-26 Part 2: "Empty Cup, Open Mind Rev. Kristin In this second installment of the Spaciousness Series, Rev. Kristin invites us to empty our cups and open our minds to the wisdom found in stillness and space. Drawing on the Tao Te Ching, the classic Zen parable of the overflowing teacup, and her own transformative experiences of spiritual emptiness, Rev. Kristin gently challenges our cultural tendency to fill every moment and avoid open space. She reminds us that emptiness is not something to fear but a doorway to liberation, prosperity, and renewal, holding infinite potential and possibility. This week, Rev. Kristin encourages us to befriend emptiness and allow infinite good to arrive in its own perfect time.
2026-08-02 Guest Will Tuttle: Part 3 "Awakening Your Inner Genius Will Tuttle In this third installment of his enlightening series, Will Tuttle invites us to awaken the bubbling spring of joy that resides within each of us. Drawing on his remarkable journey - from walking across America in search of cosmic consciousness to years as a Zen monk in Korea - Will Tuttle explores how daily spiritual practice, or what he playfully calls "blisscipline," helps quiet the mind and connect us with our true nature as eternal consciousness. Weaving together the wisdom of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, the Concord Transcendentalists, and the world's great spiritual traditions, he reminds us that we are not our bodies but radiating centers of divine love. Will Tuttle encourages us to send love, compassion, joy, and peace into the world, honoring both the inner work of awakening and the sacred community that keeps these timeless teachings alive.
2026-08-09 Part 4 "Sacred Attention Rev. Kristin In the fourth part of her enriching series on spaciousness, Rev. Kristin explores the practice of sacred attention - the way that inner spaciousness opens the door for divine presence, joy, and deeper connection to flow into our lives. Through personal stories, from reading in her backyard hammock to being re-energized by a single song, Rev. Kristin illustrates how intention and attention work together as the twin powers of consciousness. She invites us to consider simple practices, including savoring a meal, pausing before we respond, seeing the face of God in one another, and feeling the healing energy in our own hands. Ultimately, Rev. Kristin reminds us that this journey is not about time management but soul management, allowing the ordinary to become translucent as we tap the bubbling spring of joy within.
2026-08-16 Part 5 "Living from Overflow Rev. Kristin In this fifth and final installment of the series, Rev. Kristin invites us to embrace spaciousness as a gateway to divine flow and abundant living. Moving away from the pressures of clock time and the anxiety of lack, she explores how creating pause, silence, and openness allows us to become empty vessels ready to be refilled with good. Rev. Kristin illustrates the overflow that emerges from this practice through three C's: creativity, connection, and clarity, reminding us that guidance often arrives in God's time rather than our own. With warmth and gentle humor, she encourages us to relax into the dance with Spirit, trusting that when we make room, divine ideas, deeper connection, and innate joy naturally bubble up so we can live not on empty, but in the overflow.
